Job 30
1 “But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to entrust with my sheep dogs.
And now - they have laughed on me [people] young more than me to days whom I rejected fathers their to put with [the] dogs of flock my.
2 What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
Also [the] strength of hands their why? to me on them it had perished vigor.
3 Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
In poverty and in hunger barren the [ones who] gnaw a dry region yesterday of ruin and desolation.
4 They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
Those [who] pluck off mallow on bush[es] and [the] root of broom plants [for] food their.
5 They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,
From [the] community they are driven away people shout on them like thief.
6 so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
On [the] slope of wadis to dwell holes of [the] ground and rocks.
7 They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
Between bushes they bray under nettle[s] they are joined together.
8 A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
Sons of a fool also sons of not a name they have been scourged from the land.
9 And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
And now taunt song their I have become and I have become for them a word.
10 They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
They abhor me they are distant from me and from face my not they have withheld spittle.
11 Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
For (string my *Q(K)*) he has loosened and he has afflicted me and [the] halter from before me they have sent away.
12 The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
On [the] right [side] a brood they arise feet my they have sent away and they have piled up on me [the] paths of disaster their.
13 They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
They have torn down pathway my to destruction my they benefit not a helper [belongs] to them.
14 They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
Like a breach wide they come under devastation they have rolled themselves.
15 Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
It has been turned on me sudden terror it pursues like the wind dignity my and like a cloud it has passed away prosperity my.
16 And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
And now on me it pours itself out life my they seize me days of affliction.
17 Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
Night bones my he has pierced from on me and gnawing [pains] my not they rest!
18 With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
With greatness of strength it disguises itself clothing my like [the] mouth of tunic my he girds about me.
19 He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
He has thrown me to the mud and I have become like like dust and ash[es].
20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
I cry for help to you and not you answer me I have stood and you have considered carefully me.
21 You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
You change yourself into [one] cruel to me with [the] might of hand your you are hostile to me.
22 You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
You lift up me to [the] wind you make ride me and you dissolve me (success. *Q(K)*)
23 Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
For I know death you will bring me and a house of appointed meeting for every living [thing].
24 Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
Surely not on a heap of ruins anyone stretches out a hand or in disaster his to them a cry for help.
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
Not did I weep for [the] hard of day was it grieved? self my for the needy [person].
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
If good I waited for and it came evil and I waited for light and it came darkness.
27 I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
Inward parts my they have been made to boil and not they have been still they have confronted me days of affliction.
28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
Being dark I have gone about with not sun I have stood in the assembly I cry out for help.
29 I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
A brother I have become of jackals and a companion of daughters of an ostrich.
30 My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
Skin my it has become black from on me and bone my it has burned from heat.
31 My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
And it has become mourning harp my and flute my [the] sound of weepers.
